Thanks guys! But please kill the music and speak up! You guys seem to know what you are doing, but good presentation would considerably enhance the effectiveness and utility! Just a helpful hint.
Hello brother, I own a lenovo x1 carbon 2014 model. I shutdown it yesterday but its not turning on now. Its not showing beacon which is usually shown when it is plugged on for charging. Ive tried charging it for few hours but no response. Also, tried to reset it by the reset button at the back side of it inside a tiny hole.. Does re assembling it would resolve the issue?
My answer to Jon Smjkal: if you wish to clone your existing drive to a new SSD, it is a bit of a hassle. Best thing to do is create an image backup of your existing Windows 10 drive. This will create a complete backup of your existing drive, which includes the operating system, user profile, drivers. The who lot. Then replace your hard disk to SSD. Use Recover method to recover the entire image file your created in to the SSD. There you have it. And btw, good idea for the poster to remove battery before taking out components. DEFINITELY.
my screen is flickering, and when connected to an external monitor it is fine... just the laptop screen flickers. Is there a way to check if the video cable is loose or whether it needs to be replaced?
What about the audio jack? It fell off my laptop air desk and jammed my headphone jack and you can still hear the sound, but the jack is loose, but the microphone will not work. Is it integrated into the mother board? Thank you for the great video
Great Video . Please let me know if I can replace my X1 Carbon 3rd Gen Motherboard with i5-5 Gen CPU BY another x1 Carbon 3rd Gen Motherboard with i7-5 gen CPU ??
in theory yes, I read an answer on the lenovo forum that the only way to upgrade the CPU is change the whole motherboard. so in theory it whould be possible.
Which SSD m2 can we add on this machine? Can you point to Newegg link, there are several of sizes there (M2 2242, 2260, 2280, SATA NGFF - too many), I want to upgrade to a faster C drive in place of the original and use the original as an extra drive on the other slot. Thanks!
Dave V you're not going to fry anything, either the SSD will fit or it won't. 2.5 inch SSD's use a SAS connection, with the exception of M.2 which resembles a DIMM (RAM stick).
Your title is misleading. There is not even in depth to tear here. Everything is on top. Can you upgrade the memory RAM? I want that in depth tear down.
For anyone else needing to change the CMOS battery, it's underneath the system board - yes, some dickhead thought it was a good idea to put a part you need to replace when it runs out in a place that means you have to take all the ribbon cables and components out to get to it.
What? Did you not watch the video? The CMOS battery is right below the main lithium ion battery to the right (yellow circular object) which just requires 4 screws to remove.
@@im_sarge_bro4542 Must be different on my generation board then, because on mine its on the underneath side of the board, so you have to take it all out, flip it over and there's the battery, which is a stupid design. I got to it eventually but it was way harder than it should have been imo.
Nope. If you don't order with WAN modem, you get two plastic spacers where the antennas go and no wiring. Unlike a lot of laptops, all of the antennas in this one are in the base, not the screen. You can actually see the black plastic spacers near/above the speakers (there are two of them).
I totally disagree with soldered cpu concept. My dual core hp laptop still works perfect with replaced motherboard and same old processor intel chip even after 12 years. Just imagine the cost of lenovo board repair cost... My motherboard had died after 6 years of heavy daily usage. Lenovo soldered CPU concept is not good for heavy users. Caution!
The internals look so cheap. For the price you'd expect there would be more but nope. Just a single cheap cooling fan with no aluminum casing. No ram upgradability. No SSD. Weak ass 57w battery for its size. Cheap ass green circuit board directly from the 80s. At least with an Asus you'd get dual fans and a terabyte SSD with a discrete graphic that can do just about everything. And it cost a whole lot less than this.

I'd suggest figuring out a better mic setup. Other than that great video.
You should have disabled the internal battery in the bios before removing the cover.

@@ladeedshaji1946 sure
your videos are very nice, keep doing such great work.
maybe nexttime specify in the title wich model you gonna service. there are more than 5 or 6 generations of x1 now, i think...
It's a 6th gen (did a screenshot at the start and zoomed in ;-) )
Imaging buying this 8GB ram version geeg
There is no WWAN Card installed on that laptop on the video. I would like to see where is the place for WWAN antennas...

You should have disconnected the battery before upgrading anything.
That's a good point, and it's important in this case to caution the audience about that.
You can electronically disconnect the battery using the bios. No need to remove it and risk damaging it
Can you not upgrade the RAM on a 6th gen Carbon X1 Thinkpad laptop?
Jerome Powell - No you can’t. It soldered in. These laptops are becoming MacBooks where they are forcing upgrades on you down the road.
@@jgennitti that's sad =(
In a word, disposable.
Can you upgrade RAM?
not really until you remove the MB 1st.
@@teddy1991 you can just get the ram out and souther a new one back in.
It is about LENOVO X1C. YOU CANT URGRADE THE RAM YOURSELF. Ram've been intergrated on Mobo since the 3rd generation.
I just bought a 3rd gen, I'm so lucky it was the 16GB version, didn't realise it can't be changed
Nice video :), however please could you also integrate the CPU thermal paste upgrade ?
Can the ssd be replaced by a 2280 PCIE Gen 4 drive?
So you cant upgrade the RAM? It wasnt very clear why you would want to open it up if nothing is replaceable except the battery ...
How can I upgrade my system memory
You Can't. its soldered onto the motherboard
Thanks but where did you show how change the Hard drive ? thanks to you.
I don't think this laptop comes with MX150 graphics card in any configuration, right? Anyway, thanks for sharing this!
Escuse me. The ram memorie, is it possible an upgrade?
What’s the generation of this machine
my screen is flickering, and when connected to an external monitor it is fine... just the laptop screen flickers. Is there a way to check if the video cable is loose or whether it needs to be replaced?

Could you upgrade the Graphics card for the gen 6?
@@Shibzel thanks
Would love a link to where I can get those tools and the thing on your arm.
so I am assuming this one hsa not chances to ram upgrade

What other slot? There's two slots for SSD?
Having display issue with Thinkpad T 15, is there any way to change graphic card ?
Any suggestions for the best way to clone the drive when you upgrade the SSD size or better off doing a clean install?
i dont see any ram ?
ram is integrated on MB
ram is not upgradeable sadly.
8 gigs is just not going to cut it.
Amazing video. Is the ram on a lenovo w541 same as a lenovo x1 carbon. I want to move the 16gb ram module from w541 to x1 carbon. is that possible>
What specific SSD is compatible for this laptop?? There are so many different kinds. I don't want to fry my thinkpad putting the wrong SSD in it.
Dave V you're not going to fry anything, either the SSD will fit or it won't. 2.5 inch SSD's use a SAS connection, with the exception of M.2 which resembles a DIMM (RAM stick).
Please. And upgrade ram memória?
I’m crying cause I spilled water on my carbon x1 and the screen is all coloured line but my monitor works with it?
Where can we replace the ram
Hi im tryin to get a replacement touch bar for that model...
Do you know where exactly is the Location of SDA & SCL Chips so I can reset Bios Password. I forgot my recent password.
00:43 “Pic it up” 😂😅. On the fly tech jokes 🤌🏾
Nice video. Can't hear. suggest to remove the background music...
Can we upgrade the sound card?
Your title is misleading. There is not even in depth to tear here. Everything is on top. Can you upgrade the memory RAM? I want that in depth tear down.
so the wifi card is upgradable ?
Yes
What is the empty slot for? It's located under the wifi card at the right of the PCIe nvme hard disk. What is the piece that fits there?
i think SSD mini, i search for more information but nobody modify that slot.

@@HillierScott which generation do you have? There’s only 5 different X1 Carbon generations at the moment.
Why didnt you talk about the RAM?
Does this laptop has no RAM?
is the CPU replaceable?
I need to replace my battery, what battery is that?
Sorry, but where is the RAM?,Tks!!!
was looking for ram slot
Is that slot under the WiFi card slot a 2242 M.2 SSD slot?
as far as i know its for the 4g cell option and that's where you would put the card for that
where is ram ?
So they did not pre-route antennas for a WAN modem?

Does not make sense how you use the ESD Strap...
I have the same micro ssd in my laptop , can you anyone tell me what kind of adaptor I need to get the data from it .
Its a NVMe M.2 ssd. most new motherboards have a slot for one but they should make some usb adapter for recovery. Might need a pcie slot adapter.

thanks for the LOL. Soldered CPUs are present in like 99% of laptops these days and a year ago when you made your comment ;)
